just back...random thoughts...what do you think?

Hi

Just spent a few days at WDW....

Went to EPCOT F&G nice event. Walking around the thought kept coming back to me that there is a LOT of wasted space. Though i would love to see them do a 4th park - they can literally make a new park out of epcot...for instance Martin Short is fun and all but will kids want to walk "around" canada instead of seeing spiderman at us?

Add more rides to the countries...in fact do a soaring like ride for each country...it would be a great benefit for tourism.

We saw the construction at POLY...so far not too bad...and it looks like the dvc will be nice there.

Visited blt - it was the only hotel that had dirt on the floor and didnt see anyone around cleaning.

went to top of the world lounge...was nice. interesting to see the fireworks from an angle to the side...never realized that a lot of the fireworks are set off to the sides of the castle. Also got and interesting vantage point to see the firework cruises...seems like they have several and all take turns having the best vantage point...is that true for any of you who have been on them?

Happy to say all CM were very nice everywhere we went - especially the restaurants.

Also sat next to Steve Harvey at boma - fun surprise.

All in all nice trip - looking forward to the next one...

I thought I recalled reading a recent, seen a celeb, at WDW thread where someone else saw Steve Harvey at AKL as well.

Soarin is my favorite ride but I think having one for each country would be a little excessive. I wouldn't mind different versions though. I'm glad you had a good time!

Agree with everything except I LOVE the movies O Canada and Impressions de France. Don't take them away from me.

I like the fact that EPCOT has a lot of space and doesn't try to pack in attractions.

However, there is so much potential there. I don't mind not having more rides or shows in World Showcase, but they could do more with Future World. The Wonders of Life building is vacant except for special events, and they aren't even using the upstairs at Journey to Imagination. Those are two of many examples.

I would love to see each country get a ride at Epcot.

omg I hate O Canada (and I'm from Canada). But maybe we could have a smaller (better) theatre and just a simulator ride?

And a Tim Horton's coffee shop. Then it would really be like Canada.

Well, not to "one up" you in the celeb department, but I did sit next to Morgan Freeman at a steak house in Las Vegas. And, as you know, Morgan Freeman plays God a lot, so..........yeah. I think I just played a trump card on your Steve Harvey. LOL

Glad you had a great trip!

Did they lose one and I missed it?

In order for it to be truly like Canada, the pavillion would have to have mulitple Tim Horton's and all of them would be busy.

With RRRoll up the Rim to Win cups?

If we were able to put one in Afghanistan for years, they should be able to plop one down in WDW; it's pretty iconic.

I agree. I think if they had say 5 versions and made it random similar to Star Tours than perhaps that could work.
